This link will take you to the Grade Nine General Music Class wiki at United Junior-Senior High School in Armagh, PA. Mr. Richard Auvil instructs the class in a traditional manner, but extends the content using the wiki as a home base. The wiki includes exemplary student projects, embedded help videos, writing resource links, embedded videos for perceptive listening discussions, project outline pages, and more.	http://activegeneralmusic.wikispaces.com/
